2. The healthcare Dry shave chest at electrode site
provider asks a
medical assistant
to perform a
12-lead electro-
cardiogram. The
patient's chest is
hairy. Which ac-
tion does the
medical assistant
take first in this
case?
3. Which is the loca- Between the right atrium and right ventricle
tion of the tricus-
pid valve?
4. Which correctly Allows the patient to talk, drink, and eat
describes the use
of a nasal cannu-
la as an oxygen
delivery device?
5. A nasal cannula is placed in the nose; therefore patients are still able to talk, drink,
and eat. A nasal cannula delivers about 24% to 44% oxygen depending on the
flow range. A mask is used strictly for patients who breathe only through their
mouths. Partial rebreathing masks and nonrebreathing masks utilize a reservoir

bag attached to a mask. Nonrebreathing masks may deliver up to about 90%
oxygen.
6. Which is a char- The small boxes are 1 × 1 mm.
acteristic of ther-
mal electrocar-
diogram (ECG)
paper?
7. Thermal ECG paper has small boxes that are 1 × 1 mm. They also have large boxes
that are 5 × 5 mm, not 10 × 10 mm. The large boxes have a thick border, not the
small boxes. The paper is either Z-fold or 8.25 × 11 inches, not 5 × 7 inches.
8. Which is the pur- To Dx heart disease
pose of electro-
cardiography?
9. Electrocardiography is a diagnostic procedure in which electrodes are attached to a
patient's skin to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This helps to detect any
abnormality and to diagnose heart disease in the patient. Cardiac medications help
to treat heart disease. A healthy lifestyle and regular exercise will help to prevent a
cardiac arrest. Medical therapies help to improve blood flow to the heart.
10. Which describes Events that occur in a single heartbeat
a cardiac cycle?
11. A cardiac cycle refers to the events that occur in a single heartbeat, which is systole
and diastole. The atria and the ventricles contract during systole, and the chambers
refill with blood during diastole. A heart rate that is below 60 beats/min is called
sinus bradycardia. The electrical conduction system of the heart is responsible
for the heartbeat. Electrocardiography does not affect the heart but rather is a
procedure to record the electrical activity of the heart.
